This book still has many issues we grapple with today. The one that has me thinking about most is euthanasia. I have always thought it just to put an end to endless suffering but this book has made me realize that there are consequences and that there can be two sides to the act.
Margaret Espaillat has read the story with deep understanding and I thank her most sincerely for it.

Wharton is a great writer, but in this novel she over psychoanalyzes far too much, here in The Fruit of the Tree. Perhaps characters of the upper classes have complex and convoluted psychological make up, but I don't think the rest of us have the time to invent so many psychological weapons to exploit each other with. But it is a great book combining personal relations, romance, compartmentalizing and hence the string pulling and distance of powerful men and women from the harsh life their schemes create for common persons.
Edith Wharton hated socialists and perhaps she was from the upper class, she was biased towards top down reform. i don't know. Most often in history, leaders and the powerful have to be pushed by the majority for social reform.
